@Quintasoarus I nearly made the quarterfinals and beat @Typhlosion130 because my plane took off the line so fast butnthen the other plane would catch up and slam in to me. So yea, crashing at the start can make you lose.
This thing can fly! https://everyplay.com/videos/29324305 All I did was add control surfaces to the spoiler and two stabilizer wings up front (plus buoyancy)
@Typhlosion130 given the crashes you may have had a chance. I fully expected to lose our round, I couldn't believe the crash happened once, then a second time? And then it happened again when I went against Butterfly and almost a second time. That's my new strategy, fast take off and make the other guy crash into me.
@Typhlosion130 now you see why I felt bad I beat you that way, if not for my fast take off speed you might have won the whole thing. Hell, the same thing happened once when I went up against Butterfly!
There will be a total about 260 matchups with at least two races per matchup which comes to about 17 hours at 2 minutes per race. But, it won't take 2 minutes per race, lots of people will crash 30-45 seconds in and also the race ends when one person completes the course so all the planes in sub 2:00 range will speed things up.
Everyone, it's just a game, and this is a minor event within a game. It's not ideal for us mobile players but if you don't like it then just don't enter. Stop the grandstanding, you aren't being persecuted here, life will go on.
Dogfighting tournaments will never work, have you ver set two planes to AI and watched them dogfight? The two planes fly straight at each other, fire missiles as soon as possible, first plane down loses, fin.
@AndrewGarrison ok, so I got the email from iTunes saying 1.3.5 was ready to test but when I open test flight there isn't anything there. There was no activation code or anything in the email.
Just some thoughts.
1. No missiles or weapons, just what we already have. I like the creativity with the current weapons and this game isn't supposed to be about attacking.
2. Use a modified smaller map for multiplayer, get rid of unlimited ocean. It'll help with lag and also that way the players will stay together in the same area.
3. Make small player run rooms, maybe max 5 to cut down on lag. Make it so players can create their own room with their own rules, private(password access) or public. Anything goes rooms where you can crash or attack all you want or rooms with rules like no intentional crashing/attacking. Then, the person that made the room is the mod for the room, they can kick people out for breaking the rules.
It may not start tonight, they may run the tournament tomorrow.
209 competitors!
This is gonna be a late night...
@MechWARRIOR57 probably safe to assume no.
@EnderWiggin I don't want to rain on your parade but... That's a really slow time.
Words fail me...
So is the tournament really going to start at 10 pm EST?

You put it in yourself, you can't inky submit one plane. @Generalkeath
It's 20 meters, not feet. So 65 feet @Stingray
@HKAerodynamics haha, thanks, it took a few tries to not have it explode. It shouldn't be too hard to make it fly.

-Design plane, see times others are posting- "Oh well, at least it's fun colors."
Really nice buggy.

Well, I lost to you so no shame in that
@Typhlosion130 it is true that anything could make you lose a round. But I don't think you've seen how you actually crashed yet...
@Typhlosion130 oh man, I do kinda feel bad. If not for me you may have won.
Oh man, I kind of feel bad winning how I did, you should have won for sure!
We'll be racing soon, good luck!
@points I don't think it's been mentioned explicitly but I would assume no.
@Umbreon yea, I'm in the same boat. I know I won't win but I'm hoping to make it a round or two
@Tully2001 100% completion? That just means the AI will probably crash you into a mountain twice in a row come the tournament.
People are talking about minute runs? Well, I won't be winning!
Damn, I'm against you first round, looks like I won't be making it to the second round!

Good lord, over 200 people? I hope a lot of people start crashing early because if it takes two minutes for each race we'll be in for a looooong day
I wish it really did wipe out the totals
@Supercraft888 I just looked, I was matched up with someone who had a name that started with D so it's not alphabetical.
You guys realize the tournament may not start right away, right?
@AndrewGarrison what time will the tournament start streaming?

It's. Just. A. Game.

The AI is just not good enough for dogfights.
Guys, it is called SIMPLE planes, remember?
You need to cool it with the derp stuff, it's starting to wear thin @Seraphinium
You did great! @themera
Well done, you beat me
I mean, 60 engines making the wings almost rip off isn't exactly what I would call "self propelled"
@AndrewGarrison ok, so I got the email from iTunes saying 1.3.5 was ready to test but when I open test flight there isn't anything there. There was no activation code or anything in the email.
Nicely done, I was able to hit the volcano from the south runway
Wow, I can't believe some of the speeds and times, well done everyone.
Best one yet.
Man, I love your planes, I just wish you could use the RCN controls without a vtol engine.
I have the perfect plane for,this.
Just some thoughts.

Good stuff, putting a camera on the yellow one really shows how it doesn't move.
Wow, I can't believe how well this works. Truly awesome.
Well, it's pretty good, if you want your landing gear to knock your engines off.
...I have... @Meawk
